Nigel Havers has certainly received his fair share of beatings since returning to filming Coronation Street. Just a day after being launched to the ground by action hero Roy Cropper, he is about to get a kick in the unmentionables courtesy of a fuming Gail Rodwell.

The actor is back as smooth talking con artist Lewis Archer and when Roy sees him back in town, he grabs the keys from his jag, prompting a showdown that sees them both scuffling on the ground.

As Roy holds down the manipulative charmer, Gail and her mum Audrey Roberts are soon on the scene and Gail wants to release her frustration. Fans will remember that Lewis wooed her and then nabbed her cash before disappearing and leaving behind a less than complimentary video message.

But now Gail wants answers, her cash back and, more importantly, revenge! Spotting Lewis on the ground and vulnerable, she launches in and sticks the boot in, kicking out at him and ranting as an exasperated Audrey tries to pull her away.

Bizarrely, Audrey seems to have a much shorter memory and despite being tricked herself and then seeing the same thing happen to her daughter, she is taken back in by Lewis’ dulcet and caramel like tones.

In fact, she seems to be swooning over him already – but could this lead to heartbreak for her? Or might she be set to play Lewis at his own game and leave him red faced for once?

The cast were filming on location for the episodes and it was clearly a fun and amusing reunion for Nigel to be sharing the camera with Weatherfield icons Sue Nicholls (Audrey), Helen Worth (Gail) and David Neilson (Roy) again.

Between the takes of the scrap, they were laughing and catching up as if they had never been apart – but something tells us that they won’t be getting on so well on screen.

Can a leopard ever change its spots?
